38. Mounting on truss elements
Cage nuts have been integrated in the bottom of the housing to enable the direct mounting of the
device on 3-point and 4-point truss elements. Depending on the shape of the truss elements you want
to use you may have to remove one cage nut and insert it in another holder.
Cone shaped couplers with bolts and safety splint-pins (half cone with M10 screw), which can be
inserted into the tubes of the truss elements, are available from specialized trade shops for stage
equipment.
If necessary, e.g. in places of public assembly, a safety rope can be installed in addition by using the
eye on one edge of the housing.
39. Optional accessory: Power Upgrade
The Power Upgrade is an optional accessory. It consists of a gas cartridge holder with an additional
quick- coupler which is used to connect the already existing cartridge holder. Furthermore a housing
extension is supplied in order to cover the additional cartridges.
The G-Flame Power Upgrade allows you to use not only two but four cartridges. By doing so a total
flame height of approx. eight meters is achieved. The total flame duration remains the same as
specified for two cartridges with XXL nozzle.
Attention! The following nozzles have to be used in conjunction with the Power Upgrade:
a) If the ambient temperature is higher than +5°C only the nozzle for liquid gas must be used
together with the Power Upgrade. Never use any other nozzle than this one in this case.
b) If the ambient temperature is +5°C or lower the XXL nozzle has to be used stringently
instead of the nozzle for liquid gas because otherwise fallout will happen which will result in
fire on the floor due to burning gas residue.
The recommended safety distances are as follows: 12 meters upwards and 6.5 meters sideways if the
device is standing vertically on even ground. General notes regarding safety distances can be found in
the section 'Safety distances' in this manual.
40. Cleaning
The device is very robust. Please take care that e.g. no burning or hot cinders from firework effects fall
onto the device, because this may cause damage to the surfaces.
Ensure that the device is switched off before you clean it.
Use a piece of cloth, that was moistened with water and at the most some dishwashing agent, for
cleaning the device. Solvents, strong detergents and abrasives could damage the surfaces.
Keep all electrical contacts always clean.
Unburned carbon may accumulate at the ignition electrodes, the ionization measurement electrode
and on the electrode cage. This is absolutely normal and does not impair the function of the device.
If a lot of unburned carbon has accumulated we recommend to clean the ignition electrodes and the
electrode cage by using a soft brush. Pay attention not to bend the electrodes. In case that the soot
can not be removed this way moisten the brush with brake cleaner. The ionization measurement
electrode can be cleaned by using a piece of cloth.
The gap between the tips of the ignition electrodes should be 4 - 5 mm.
